CHEERS to the return of high school football, cool Friday nights on the bleachers under the stars, marching bands, pizza, hot dogs and hot chocolate from the concessions stand and the sense of community spirit the sport evokes.

JEERS to state House Republicans seeking to divert money from much-needed road, rail and other transportation projects to avoid endorsing a natural gas severance tax approved by the Senate and the Wolf Administration. Our legislators have kowtowed to gas interests long enough.

CHEERS to the state Department of Environmental Protection’s approval of Wilkes-Barre Area’s planned site for a consolidated high school and athletic fields in Plains Township. The cancellation of home football games at Memorial Stadium due to a deteriorating access tunnel is further proof of the urgency of the district’s consolidation and construction program.

JEERS to the school district though, for waiting until August to begin work on the stadium tunnel, making it impossible to correct the problems that have made the stadium unusable for two weeks and forcing district teams to move season-opening home games to their opponents’ stadiums.
